Drive by cable setup This might be a weird question, but I want to convert my DBW to DBC.
But I don't want to change throttle bodies, I want to modify my existing DBW.
If I modify my DBW so that it opens mechanically, will the computer accept this? Is this a legitimate concept? Thanks.

You'll have to accurately mount a TPS to the throttle shaft and drill/mount an IAC stepper motor. Do-able, sure. Worth while? Not really. Ebay DBC TB's are under $100 now, hardly worth the effort
Also, some aftermarket TB MFRs used a single TB casting with mounts for both the DBW motor/TPS and DBC TPS/IAC combos with the throttle cam mounting in place of the electric motor. The concept is sound. Application, esp with OEM stuff is challenging
